Noroxin and Other Fluoroquinolones May Pose a Serious Health Risk

In March of 2018, a research study published in The BMJ demonstrated a strong link between fluoroquinolone antibiotics and an increased risk of aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm. This peer-reviewed study published in one of the most respected medical journals found that patients who took fluoroquinolone antibiotics suffered aortic complications at almost twice the rate of those who took amoxicillin instead.

This study did not look at Noroxin specifically, but instead considered the entire family of fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

Nine months later, in December 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sounded an additional alarm about the link between these popular antibiotics and an increased risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection. Based on this research and reports the agency collected about this type of complication, the FDA warned doctors and patients to avoid fluoroquinolone antibiotics if they already have an increased risk of aortic aneurysm.

Noroxin Is No Longer Available, But We Can Still Take Action in Your Case

Noroxin is a member of the fluoroquinolone family of broad-spectrum of antibiotics. Merck & Company, Inc. manufactured and marketed this brand name product and discontinued it for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy. Primarily, doctors prescribed Noroxin for a variety of bacterial infections. This included:

• Urinary tract infections
• Prostatitis
• Cystitis
• Enteritis
• Other stomach and gastrointestinal infections

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics received FDA approval more than 30 years ago. They are one of the most popular types of drugs in the world and are the most commonly prescribed antibiotics worldwide.

Berger and Green Can Pursue Compensation in Your Case

Drug companies have an obligation to market safe and effective medications. If there is evidence to show a drug is dangerous, defective, or improperly labeled, those who suffer ill effects from the drug may be able to take legal action and hold the pharmaceutical company liable. If our team can link your aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm with Noroxin or another fluoroquinolone, we may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf.

Damages Recoverable in a Noroxin Aortic Aneurysm Antibiotics Lawsuit

If we can collect evidence to show a link between your use of Noroxin and your aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm, we can pursue compensation for the expenses and losses you experienced. This may include almost any damages you suffered because of the aortic complication, including the costs related to emergency surgery and hospitalization. Some of the most common damages available in this type of case include:

• Emergency medical expenses including the cost of ambulance transportation
• Surgery, hospitalization, other medical care, and all related expenses
• Lost wages and benefits and diminished earning capacity
• Prescription medications such as pain management
• Out-of-pocket costs and other related expenses
• Pain and suffering damages

Both aortic dissection and aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions. Many people pass away before they reach the hospital and others pass away before or during surgery. If this happened to a member of your family, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through a wrongful death action. We can file this type of civil lawsuit on your behalf. Reach out to us today for your free case evaluation.

We Need to Take Legal Action as Early as Possible in Your Case

Each state has a time limit, called a statute of limitations, for pursuing compensation in this type of case. When we review your case, we will help you understand the deadline that applies. Because of this deadline, it is imperative we take action as quickly as possible in your case. If we do not file a lawsuit before the deadline, the court most likely will not allow us to later.

As of March 2019, the courts have not consolidated any fluoroquinolone aortic aneurysm lawsuits into multidistrict litigation (MDL). It is still very early in this process, and this may happen in the future. If the courts consolidate the cases before your lawsuit goes to trial, we may be able to join the mass tort.
